RacingThePlanet: New Zealand, the 11th edition of the RacingThePlanet Ultramarathon, will take place on the South Island of New Zealand. The host town, Queenstown, is perhaps one of the world’s foremost adventure capitals.
In March 2019, the ELEVENTH edition of the RacingThePlanet Ultramarathon will take place on the South Island of New Zealand. The host towns are Wanaka (pre-race) and Queenstown (post-race) which are appropriately famous for their stunning vistas and adventure sports. The course features the great variety of iconic scenery and terrain of this beautiful region. Some highlights include clear still lakes, rugged hills, vast plains, rolling farmland where you will see local farm life (and lots of sheep), subtropical forests, open valleys with picturesque rivers running through, and ice-age glaciers, all with spectacular views of surrounding peaks and dramatic scenery.
